MMC-16 APC to 2 x MTP-8 UPC Breakout Cable, 16 Fibers, OM4
For Pakistani procurement and engineering teams, the specification provides a practical basis for checking compatibility before production is requested. The 16FMMCMTPOM4 APC-to-UPC breakout divides sixteen OM4 fibers from one MMC APC female connector into two MTP-8 UPC female branches. It is built for multimode channels that require this precise polish combination. The direct fan-out replaces cassette-based conversion with one factory-tested unit and two explicitly identifiable eight-fiber routes.

A mixed-polish multimode fan-out
APC at the MMC connection and UPC at the two MTP ends must be aligned with the surrounding interfaces; this particular model ought to not be substituted for the APC-to-APC breakout. The female, non-pinned connectors require pinned mates. Because the two MTP branches may serve distinct destination ports, label every branch leg and record its layout before dressing the installed cable into a manager.
Reflection and insertion-loss values by connector
Maximum insertion loss is 0.35dB. Return loss is specified independently as at least 40dB for the MMC APC interface and 27dB for the MTP UPC interface. Those figures ought to be retained in acceptance documentation rather than replaced by a single general-purpose figure. While reach remains determined by the specified transceivers, OM4 fiber supports the 850/1300nm multimode link.
Installing the two-leg assembly
The standard entire lengths are 1m (3ft), 2m (7ft) and 3m (10ft); bespoke meter and foot lengths are offered. Location this breakout body so neither MTP leg is pulled sideways, and respect the 7.5mm optical-fiber bend radius. Clean and examine the MMC and the two MTP ferrules before making the three connections.
Ordering and Factory Support
Indicate 16FMMCMTPOM4 in the APC-to-UPC two-branch model, with length and number of units. For repeat installations, bespoke branch IDs and a customer part-number label can keep these mixed-polish cables distinct from the APC-to-APC variants. For Pakistan, a clear port or maintenance schedule helps us confirm the correct factory-built configuration before supply.
